Ramzan is the holy month in which our very dear holy book Quran was revealed,thats why this month is exceptionally important.This month is the month of controling ones self from all the evil deeds.
In this month muslims keep fast from dawn till dusk just for GOD.It is obligatory gor all mature muslims.humbly keeping fast can open our way to heaven.Every good deed you do during ramadan is double to good deeds,and every bad deed you do is double to bad deeds.By keeping fast we experience the suffering of the poor and needy people and in this way our attitude becomes more humble.By medical point of view fasting is also good for liver functions.During fast you pray five times a day which is good exercise.

Well fasting during ramzan is not as complex as it seems unless you really want to do it.It is more difficult for young children and the old and for newly turned muslims.
As far as eating habits are concerned they should be carefully planned for sahri(when you eat for keeping fats)and iftar(when you open your fast).U should not eat rice for sahar because it is readilly digested and you may feel hungry.Take wheat products,drink reasonable amount of water.If you eat something oily then it is good for you if you take some tea after it because you will a lot thirsty after eating oily food.
In iftar you should not at once drink a lot of water,or eat much heavy food because it will be very uncomfortable for your digestive system.
Do not think of eating something during fast if nobody is watching you beacuse GOD is watching you.It is all about your intentions.
Fast is not all about being hungry,if you just not eat anything all day long and do all your regular deeds,it will not account for fats it will be just as you are starving.The real aim of starving is achieved if every organ and every part of your body is in fats,i mean to say that fats teaches us to be patient in evry aspect.
You should not say evil,see evil.do evil,think evil or even hear evil.It is just a matter of 30 days,and if you really in its true meaning keep fast then it can bring a pleasant change in your nature.
After ramadan EID comes as a gift from GOD,before eid every person who can afford must give some charity to the deserved.In this way ramadan also brings hapiness to the poor.Ramadan also brings the hapiness and joy of eid to all who have kept fasts.

Wishing all of you a very happy RAMADAN.
